Sports Clubs

Mr. Andy Reed: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what additional funding will be made available for sports clubs to ensure that young people have access to at least two hours of sport per week outside school, as proposed in the consultation response, Youth Matters: Next Steps". [59952]

Maria Eagle: As part of the national school sport strategy, £18 million has been set aside for 2003 to 2008 for the school/club links programme, to encourage and strengthen links between schools and sports clubs. Through this programme, we are working with the national governing bodies of sport to provide a safe environment for young people to take part in sport beyond school in accredited sports clubs.

Funding of £100 million is also being invested in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Community Club development programme, which is increasing participation and widening access to sports clubs for all areas of the community.

Funding beyond 2008 is subject to the next comprehensive spending review.

Student Bankruptcy

Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many undergraduate students resident in Suffolk declared themselves bankrupt in 2005. [58511]

 
23 Mar 2006 : Column 553W
 

Bill Rammell: Two borrowers with publicly owned student loans, whose awarding local authority is Suffolk, have so far informed the Student Loans Company (SLC) that they became bankrupt during calendar year 2005.

Figures separately identifying undergraduates are not available; students on postgraduate initial teacher training courses can be eligible for loans. There may be delays between borrowers becoming bankrupt and notifying the Student Loans Company, therefore figures could increase in future.

The Higher Education Act 2004 included provisions to prevent student loans being written off on discharge from bankruptcy. However bankrupt borrowers continue to benefit from the same non-commercial loan

terms as other borrowers, with subsidised interest rates and no obligation to repay if their annual income is below £15,000.

Teacher Salaries

Mr. Andrew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average starting salary was for newly qualified teachers in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in Oxford in each of the last 10 years. [58272]

Jacqui Smith: The information requested is not available below regional level.

The following tables provide the average salary of newly qualified teachers by Government Office Region and phase, for each of the latest three years available.
